Trivia: A bored animator must have snuck in a joke when drawing Taki that gets the ball from Misaki; if you look closely to the left of the frame, you can see that there's a guy that makes a rather scary expression...because someone else in front of him snuck a hand into the front of his pants.

Trivia: To the left of the frame, someone in attendance behind Maruyama when she praises Wakabayashi's save has the jaw disjointed from the rest of the head. It's a "cameo" featuring a character from Urusei Yatsura, Ryunosuke's father. Also in attendance another character with a design that stands out from the rest, which seems to be Sakurambo, again from Urusei Yatsura. (00:06:07)

Trivia: International versions change Roberto's message to his coach at San Paulo FC, adding for some reason that he met a girl he fell in love with. This girl is never referenced nor appears, since, well, she does not exist? Roberto mentions that he met Tsubasa instead, who he wants to bring to greatness. (00:12:40)
